From the Bartender

Another Don the Beachcomber original from the 1930s, decoded by Jeff Berry. It is the tiki drink that works best in autumn — the cinnamon and allspice pull it away from the beach and toward a fireplace.

Pearl Diver

Gold Rum

Pearl Diver

Thick and honeyed with a distinctly buttery texture, warm spice threading through, and the dark rum's molasses anchoring the whole thing.

Cobra's Fang

Aged Jamaican Rum

Cobra's Fang

Tart passion fruit and clove-heavy falernum over funky Jamaican rum, with anise creeping in at the edges and a long, dry, spiced finish.

Aged Jamaican Rum

Jet Pilot

Layered and restless — cinnamon and clove first, then grapefruit pith, then the overproof rum arriving late and hot, with absinthe hovering over all of it.

Jamaican Dark Rum

Zombie

Bold and tropical with layered rum depth, bright citrus, and warming spice from falernum, undercut by a subtle anise whisper from Pernod and a bittersweet backbone from Angostura - dangerously drinkable for something this potent.
